Hysteria: A Twilight Fanfic

Chapter twelve

I maneuvered my way down the stairs, carefully. I can not wait to be off the crutches. According to Carlisle, I only had a couple more weeks of this hell.

I sat at the dining room table, yawning loudly. Esme placed a bowl of cereal in front of me and sat down the carton of milk. She looked concerned but didn't say anything.

I chewed slowly as I thought about my first day at this new school. I had no idea how it would go. I dreaded having to stay handicapped, but that's because I feel like it'll garner unwanted attention. More than just being a new student.

Emmett sat down next to me, and kissed my forehead. "Good morning, love."

I continued to chew slowly, not saying anything. I'm way to nervous.

"Did you get any sleep?" He asked, concern evident.

I shook my head lightly.

"It'll be ok, Clara." And he squeezed my hand lightly.

Carlisle walked into the room, next. "I need to fill you in quickly. You will be Clara Hale, the younger adopted sister of Rosalie and Jasper. Alright?" I nodded my head. "Ok, good. Edward, Emmett, and Alice are also adopted."

"I think Edward explained, thank you Carlisle."

"You're welcome. Have a good first day."

I smiled, but I knew it didn't look convincing. At least no one mentioned it.

Alice bounded in to the room looking all excited. "Clara, you look terrible!"

"Thanks for mentioning it." I said grumpily.

"Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

I looked up as Edward walked into the room.

"You can ride with Emmett. The rest of us will go in my car. Are we ready?" Edward asked.

I nodded and Esme grabbed my bowl from the table. "Thank you," I said sincerely.

"Of course, dear." Esme smiled kindly at me.

Emmett helped me up from the table, and walked me to the Jeep. He handed me my school bag along the way.

I leaned my crutches against his Jeep, and Emmett lifted me up. He kissed my cheek quickly before putting my crutches in the back and getting in the drivers seat.

Emmett pulled into the school parking lot, parking next to Edward. We all walked into the administration building together to receive our new schedules.

We all compared schedules before heading back out into the rain. I was lucky enough to have a class with everyone, but the others weren't as lucky.

My first class was English in building 3. Alice walked with me, slowly, of course. But at least she didn't complain. I hoped this would be an easy class.

One kid stood out from all the others; Eric Yorkie. He introduced himself to us immediately. He reminded me of a puppy but he was nice enough. It would be nice to have more friends.

Soon enough first period was over and it was time to head over to Government in building 6. Edward was standing outside my class to walk with me since it was so far from my class.

"Thank you." I said quietly.

"Well, I wasn't going to make you walk alone. Now what kind of brother would I be?"

I chuckled quietly.

"You know, you are really slow." Edward complained.

"I'm crippled!" I exclaimed. I knew he was joking, and I felt a little less nervous about our first day.
